Trump Administration Launches Portal to Report DEI Practices in Public Schools

The Department of Education's 'End DEI' website allows submissions on alleged race- or sex-based discrimination in K-12 schools, drawing both praise and criticism.

The 'End DEI' portal invites parents, students, and educators to report race- or sex-based discrimination in public K-12 schools for potential federal investigations.
The initiative is part of President Trump's broader effort to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in education and government institutions.
Critics, including teachers' unions and civil rights advocates, argue the portal undermines free speech, fosters division, and may chill discussions on race and equity in schools.
Supporters, such as Moms for Liberty, praise the portal as a tool to empower parents and refocus schools on traditional academics like reading, writing, and math.
The American Federation of Teachers has filed a lawsuit challenging the administration's directive to end DEI initiatives, citing constitutional concerns and potential harm to marginalized communities.
